Making music together

Local musician Gregg Moore, a member of SquarPeg and a composer, is hosting a program called "Community Music @ Trinidad School," Tuesdays from 7 to 9 p.m. in Room 9. The fee is $7 per session.

"The most profound learning takes place in an atmosphere of fun and most people learn in a wide variety of ways from a wide variety of stimuli," according to the project's website. "The Community Music Project presents the learning of music as something that can be accomplished on one's own terms, at a personal pace and in the company of like-minded friends. The Project is directed in equal measure at music learning, recreation and community building."

Those who've just taken up playing an instrument or who want to return to one played years ago are welcome.

"People have used the project to learn to read notes better, practice improvising or just to share the jobys and occasional frustrations of learning with others. Participants help each other with fingerings, chord shapes, tips on resources and bring in new tunes."

Those planning to attend are asked to bring their instrument -- one in good working condition -- a music stand and a notebook "to start a collection of tunes."

Moore, who earned an interdisciplinary degree in community music from Humboldt State University in 2010 and a masters (art in education) from Harvard Graduate School of Education in 2012, spent many years as a performer and teacher in both Amsterdam and Portugal.
